In the alternative-trap fusion track, where Farru samples Paquita La Del Barrio’s “Rata de dos Patas,” the two artists sing about their challenging road to fame. On “Cucaracha,” Farruko join forces with rapper, singer-songwriter, and Bayamon native Ñengo Flow. With La 167, which was mostly crafted in a workshop near his childhood home in Puerto Rico, Farruko hopes to spread nothing but “good vibes and good energy.”īelow, the Billboard Latin staff recommends some essential tracks. “I believe a lot in new talent and finding a new sound,” he explained. His collaborators include old-school acts, such as Gallego, Tempo, Ñengo Flow, and Lito MC Cassidy, and a wave of new artists like Brray, Noriel, Jay Wheeler, and Myke Towers, to name a few. In other songs, such as the title track, “Guerrero,” “Apunta y Dispara,” and “Siempre Sere,” the Puerto Rican rapper wears his heart on his sleeve, telling raw stories about growing up, the street life, and overcoming many challenges. On road 167, Farruko takes fans on an eclectic journey that includes romantic reggaetón (“My Lova”), hard-hitting perreo (“Baya”), dancehall (“W.F.M.”), reggae (“Jibaro”), trap (“Cucaracha”), and even salsa (“La Bendición”). It kicks off with “Ki,” an instrumental trap song with a motivational speech by Mexican conference speaker and author Daniel Habif, followed by his two hits “Tóxica” and “Pepas.” Like “Pepas,” La 167 includes more EDM gems like “Embalao,” “Helicoptero,” and his focus track “El Incomprendido,” which interpolates Alice Deejay’s 1999 classic “Better Off Alone.” But that control needs to let the kid emotions and creativity flow.Latin Remix of the Week: David Guetta Gives Farruko's 'Pepas' His Stamp of Approval We are not suggesting that control is not required to properly educate a kid. So in a way to educate them, we force them to swim against the river. Scream, cry, run, draw on walls etc are all unacceptable behavior. Ever since they are born we try to make our kids stop doing what’s natural to them. You have to let it flow, but to safely harness the power of the river, you need locks and dams or every now and then it will flood and destroy everything.”Īlthough this quote referred to our Economy System, we can see similarities with our Social and Education Systems. “Capitalism is a rushing river, communism tried to make the river run backwards and that obviously doesn’t work. Although it’s easy to see the immediate benefit of teaching a 3 years old to behave in a bank, forcing only restraint without providing an outlet for the child emotions is not only be a missed opportunity, it could also be a time bomb. Without any ill intent, our educators teach and sometimes force our kids to restraint from emotions. Our current education system relies too much in control and very little in emotions and creativity. Sooner or later, these kids aren’t going to have anything to read or write about.” Glenn Holland: Well, I guess you can cut the arts as much as you want, Gene. And if I’m forced to choose between Mozart and reading and writing and long division, I choose long division. “Vice Principal Wolters: I care about these kids just as much as you do. Without direction, these pure emotions turn into screams, violence and vandalism. That’s all you see little kids do without any influence from parents or education.
